Men's heart disease risk doubles with these types of job strain, says new study
Fox News
Men who experience job strain — and who put in high effort for little reward — have twice the risk of heart disease compared to those who do not have those stressors, per a new study.
The study was published this week in the American Heart Association (AHA) journal Circulation: Cardiovascular Quality and Outcomes. "The U.S. workforce is among the most stressed in the world, and these workplace stressors can be as harmful to health as obesity and secondhand smoke."

Previous research has shown that job strain and high effort with low reward are psychological stressors that have been linked separately to heart disease risk.
